For Some Game Saves, The Vita Needs Help

Help comes in the shape of a memory card. According to sister site Kotaku Japan, a handful of PlayStation Vita games can save onto the game cards directly. Some games will need a memory card for game saves, meaning that so will you.

Kotaku Japan received the following information from Sony Computer Entertainment.

It's still TBA whether Katamari Damacy: No・Bi~ta will need a memory card for game saves or not. At the PS Vita's December 17 launch, the following memory cards will be available: 4GB memory card (¥2,200 or US$29), 8GB memory card (¥3,200 or $US42), 16GB memory card (¥5,500 or $US72), and 32GB memory card (¥9,500 or $US124).

The PSP may as well have had a proprietary memory card format: the only device I own that can read MemoryStick Duos is my PSP. That said, you could use the PSP as a card reader by hooking it up to the computer by USB.

If they cut that feature from the Vita, then you might be right about the choice of format.

almost certain they're not bundled with the console. they are also not the same cards as the memory stick duos the psp had, but a new one made for it, which means you will have to redownload any games/content you bought off the psn
